Biblical Foundation of Conflict Management Professor’s Notes: Conflict. Most of us deal with conflict on a daily basis. Whether it’s navigating a tense situation with a child or spouse, dealing with a tough boss or colleague, or even managing our emotions after we’ve been cut off on a highway, all of us need strategies to deal with the dailyness of life. Porter (1996) has this to say about conflict: “When a person is faced with a situation that threatens their sense of self-worth or value, deep-set assumptions, values, and motivations are usually at the core of conflict and that is why it is important to look deeper underneath the appearance of conflict to see what’s really going on.” For this reason, I believe that perspective taking is so important when dealing with conflict. Many conflict situations can be alleviated, or at least toned down, if we step back and take perspective of the situation. In their book, Leadership Without Easy Answers, Heifitz and Linsky talk about the metaphor of the dance floor and the balcony. It is so important for leaders…

Religion in human evolution Introduction According to Hedges, (2015), religion can be defined as a socio-cultural structure of one’s practices and behavior, an individual’s view of the world, morals, ethics, or even organizations that link humans to spiritual or supernatural elements. It differs among different people whereby some use objects considered sacred, faith in a supernatural being that guides the people, provides for them, and even provide power. People practice their religion in different ways. Some attend sermons; others perform rituals while others do commemorations such as deities (Hedges,2015). Different religious history is preserved in the form of narrative or sacred objects and symbols. These are then kept in holy places in an attempt to give meaning to life. Some of the significant existing religions include Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism. However, out of the total world’s population, a small percentage does not affiliate to any religion or do not believe in the existence of any supernatural being. These are either the agnostics or the atheists (The Global religious landscape, 2012). Evolution can be defined as the process through which…

Sex Trafficking In the USA Sex trafficking is the transportation of an individual through deception and coercion, conducted through organized crime. Sex trafficking is illegal, according to the United Organization’s rules, principles, and laws that govern the global rights of the citizens. However, the research conducted in the US proves beyond a reasonable doubt that about fifteen to fifty thousand women involved in sex trafficking in the US are a third of the US population and citizens who are foreign-born in the US or those with the visas (Bramham, 2011). US trafficking and violence protection Act of 2000 as enshrined in the US federal laws. In the journal article Women’s Oppression, the oppression manifests through association and stereotyping of women as sexual objects, which can easily be acquired through material wealth within the communal confine. Such kind of cultural anomalies encourages men to trap women in sex trafficking as a form of entertainment. Sexualization of women is reinforced through popular magazines, pornography, videos, music, and other forms of advertisement (Obrero,2019). Based on the definition of the societal anomalies and cultural…
Thinking Trans Lyn After reading and watching the Trans lives, experiences and their concerns leaves me very surprised. The story of Lyslie Barrett makes one wonder how the Transgender people survive in this world full of selfishness. Lyslie’s family, unlike many families with transgender people, supports him fully until he completes his transition. He acknowledges that his mother has done a lot through supporting him (mark 2:15). Therefore, I am surprised that this group only needs everyone’s support for them to go through their transition successfully. They require the family’s understanding and full support because it is not their wish to be Transgender. In my opinion, these readings challenge my previous understanding of the Trans people as before I came to an agreement correctly who they were; I used to discriminate them. My knowledge of the Trans people was influenced by the stereotypes the media was propagating. However, I have come to understand that they are ordinary people. Especially the Trans women, they are discriminated to the extent of the media hyper sexualizing. I am happy that they have stood…
Trying Juveniles as Adults I think trying a juvenile accused of murder as an adult does not make sense. Besides, death is a serious crime that has to be punished, and there is also the consideration that the defendant is a child. A 14-year old is not allowed to vote or give consent to sexual activities; he or she still needs guidance in making decisions. Sentences given to juveniles should be meant to develop them and change their behaviours for the better and not ruining the rest of their lives. Trying a youth as an adult means he gets the sentence of an adult and has to be incarcerated together with adults. The adults in prisons could hurt these children, and if they survive, it won’t be effortless to rehabilitate them. Charging a 14-year-old with murder as an adult could give him or her a life sentence in prison or even death sentence. This sentence snatches the life of these teenagers even before they begin making sure that they never attend college or Prom, they do not get to experience…
Getting Started: The Journey of Faith Key ideas One of the characters presented in the “Courageous Faith” text is Abraham, who is strong in faith. Through faith, he has been able to hold on to God’s promises despite the challenges he goes through. From him, there are three ideas that I have gained from him that are of impact in my life. One of the ideas is to fully follow God even though the path he is taking you through is not clear. In the case of Abraham, there were so many unclear things that God made him go through. Despite him going through them, he was persistent with God and obeyed his commands fully. For example, when he was told by God to go and sacrifice his son, he did not hastate to go and sacrifice his son. In the book of Hebrews 11: 11, it shows that Abraham had faith in God, and he was ready to submit to his will. Also, the pain he went through was imaginable since he was required to sacrifice his one and…
Girls and Sex In a PEGGY ORENSTEIN, Girls and Sex, it is obvious how girls are affected all-round the continent. For instance, just at the beginning where students are seated down in an auditorium, alternating, daydreaming and chatting with each other as the administrators drone on about the importance of attendance. The dean of students addresses girls on how to dress while in school. I conquer with the dean since the mode of dressing describes a person. Although the dean was right, Camila being one of the students was not satisfied. She thought that her dressing mode has no problem with other people, she even went on saying that if a male teacher might be interrupted with her boobs, then the board must find ways of admitting teachers who cannot be suspended. She was seconded by other girls, yes, but the concept behind this is, they felt they are grownups and there dressing their choice, no one should bother about it. Even if it’s their choice as they think, but I guess they never get the point correctly, they never…
